You approach a senior lawyer for mandatory injunction for cancellation of the licence issued by the authorities concerned since the locality is residential in nature. Also ask for demolition of the hotel. You can take up the issue with the municipal authorities in the area.

Dear Sir / Madam,

You can invoke Section 133 of the Indian Criminal Penal Code to put an end to the nuisance and disturbance being caused in the residential neighbourhood by the Hotel operation.

The latest judgement in this context is -
